NSA. To drop out of NSA is out on the question because of the apparent interest being shown in NSA, even here tonight," he said.
The leaders of the two political parties explained the role of politics on the campus.
Dalby, who was the first speaker, explained that the purpose of our campus political parties was to elect delegates and create new areas and ideas for the ASC to work from.
"Politics doesn't play a real role in student government once the candidate is elected to ASC," Dalby said.
He explained that the ASC was a unicameral governing body and once a candidate is elected from his party to the ASC, the "Council should not be the battleground of student politics," he said.
Dalby said a system of checks and balances existed in student government similar to that of national government. The ASC constitutes the legislature, the student court, the judicial and student body president and vice president, the executive branches of government.
Dalby Explains His Job
Dalby said that as student body president he was not president of the ASC and did not even have a vote on the council.
The job of the ASC chairman is to coordinate the efforts and activities of the various committees within the ASC, Dalby said.
"My purpose is to coordinate efforts of the student body with those of the faculty and administration as well as working in all areas of student activities," he said.
The judicial branch (student court) was primarily occupied with student traffic violation appeals and with questions between student organizations, the student body president said. The court is made up of 6 justices appointed by the ASC and a chief justice who is appointed by the dean of the School of Law. All problems of a disciplinary nature with students are the concern of the student court, he said.
Cacioppo said:
"Student government is not a device to educate students in political science. It is a tool of the students to voice their opinion. The importance of the student government is measured by the importance of its issues and the solutions it provides."
Nobel Peace Prize Will Not Be Awarded
OSLO, Norway —(UPI)— The Nobel Committee of the Norwegian Parliament announced today that there will be no 1960 Peace Prize. It was the 14th time that no award was made.
The prime candidate was reported to have been United Nations Secretary General Dag Hammarskjoeld for his efforts in the Congo. But he was ineligible since the Congo crisis came after the Jan. 31 deadline for consideration of candidates.
The committee gave no reason for its decision.
Last year's winner was Philip John Noel-Baker, Labor Party member of the British Parliament, a Quaker and life-long worker for disarmament.
The West German Association for European Unity last month suggested Hammarskjold's candidacy for this year's Peace Prize.
Hammarskjold may get the 1960 prize in 1961. A precedent for this was set in 1953, when Dr. Albert Schweitzer received the 1952 prize and Gen. George Marshall, former U.S. secretary of state, received the 1953 prize at the same time.
The Nobel committee declined to comment on its considerations, refusing to say even what candidates were discussed.

OAS May Boycott
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The Organization of American States (OAS) may agree soon to pick up its diplomatic boycott of the Dominican Republic with moderate economic sanctions, diplomatic sources said today.
However, they said there was little disposition among the American states to agree to Venezuelaan demands for a drastic trade embargo similar to that imposed against Cuba by the United States.
Venezuela argues that Gen. Rafael Trujillo still is violating human rights and threatening neighboring countries despite the vote of condemnation by the foreign ministers conference at San Jose, Costa Rica, last August.
The foreign ministers voted to break off relations with the Dominican regime, impose an arms embargo, and consider gradual economic sanctions if the situation did not improve. They contended the Dominican regime conspired to overthrow the government of Venezuelan President Romulo Betancourt and plotted against his life.
A six-nation committee charged
with studying the Dominican situation has come under sharp criticism by Venezuelan delegates for what they claim is a "clear reluctance" to act.
The committee, which also includes Chile, Honduras, Mexico, Panama and the United States, is expected to meet again next week.
'Too Big to Handle'
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — (UPI)—The Secretary of State's office received a request yesterday from a young college man who wanted "a copy of all the laws in effect in California."
Rich Bodwell, of the University of Redlands, explained on his postcard that he wanted "to think and vote intelligently in the future."
Officials learned the order would run to 80 volumes, weighing a total of 320 pounds.
They sent Bodwell a postcard informing him that his order was "too big for us to handle."

Russians May Talk to Imprisoned Citizen
WASHINGTON —(UPI)— The United States today granted Russian officials permission to interview a Soviet citizen arrested on spy charges and said U.S. authorities should have the same right to see U.S. airmen imprisoned in the Soviet Union.
The State Department said it has advised the Russian Embassy of the
arrest in New York of 47-year-old Igor Yakovlevich Melekh, an employee of the United Nations Secretariat. It advised the Russians he may be interviewed at New York's Federal Detention Center.

LUCKY STRIKE PRESENTS:
Dear Dr. FROOD:
DR. FROOD'S THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Early to bed and early to rise is an excellent way to avoid people.
Dear Dr. Frood: What should I look for first when I look for a wife?
Searching
DEAR SEARCHING: Her husband.

Dear Dr. Frood: Our son has been in college three months, and we haven't heard a word from him.
Not even a post card. I don't want him to think I am too demanding or overprotective, but frankly I am worried. What should I do?
Worried Mother
DEAR WORRIED: Why worry after only three months in college? He's still learning how to write.
Dear Dr. Frood: I am six foot five, 225 pounds, handsome, tanned, muscled, a good athlete. But I can't get along with girls because I can never think of anything to say. What do you suggest?
---
DEAR BRAWNY: "Me Tarzan, you Jane."
Brawny
Determined
Dear Dr. Frood: Don't you agree that every college man has the right, in fact, the duty, to stand up and speak out for the things he believes in? Tomorrow I am going straight to the college president and tell him, politely but firmly, what is wrong here the inferior teaching, the second-rate accommodations, the bad food. My friends think I am wrong to do this. What do you think?
DEAR DETERMINED: I applaud your spirit, young man! Had I been able, I would have commended you in a more personal letter. However, you forgot to leave a forwarding address.

Dear Dr. Frood: I am puzzled by the Lucky Strike slogan: "Remember how great cigarettes used to taste? Luckies still do." I've been sitting here for hours, thinking, thinking, thinking, but for the life of me I can't remember. What should I do about this?
DEAR FORGETFUL: I suggest you lean back, relax,
and light up a Lucky Strike.
I'm sure it will all come back to you—who you are,
what you were, where you lived, everything.
FROOD FAD SWEEPS COLLEGES! They laughed when Dr. Frood started the new college craze of enjoying a Lucky while hanging from a coat rack. But now everybody is doing it! Smoking Luckies, that is. Today college students smoke more Luckies than any other regular. Reason: With or without coat rack, Luckies deliver the greatest taste in smoking today.
CHANGE TO LUCKIES and get some taste for a change
